THURSDAY, MAY ft, 1I5« fc^NEWS , Evtntf of recent week* have thrown the old Democratic party Into a quandary. It remains to be seen whether Its leadership has ithe perspicacity to solve the di lemmas perched on both ears of the Democratic mule. I Problem 1-Will the party be l a ble to take advantage of a very |real revolt of the farm population against the Eisenhower adminis tration agricultural program? | Problem 2—Can the party pick a .leader who will heal the very real revolt of „ the poweiful southern Democratic leaders which looms bigger every day as a likely cau cus belli for another splinter, or third party movement in the South. ' I® the farm revolt real? The Wall Street Journal, the Bible of economic Republicanism in these parts, thinks it is. Says the Wall Street Journal in a post-Minne sota primary issue: ! “ . • . Says Leonard Hall, Repub lican National Chairman: ‘Repub licans weren’t in the Minnesota primary; we were on the side walk watching,’ “But talks with farmers over the back fence, in the feedstore, and along the streets of Minnesota's rural communities leave little doubt that, despite such factors, the farm, revolt is real.” And the Wall Street Journal stresses, “(The) President, not Benson, gets most of the blame for sliding income, rising costs.” This evidence of a farm revolt is further borne out by recent action of the North Dakota Non- Partisan League, which broke a forty-year tradition *>y voting to switch from the Republican to the Democratic column in filing its Candidates in this year’s election.

If this farm revolt is real, and the farmers switch their 1952 vote, 1 Political statisticians are du ; bious of the entire voting popu lation of the rural areas of the country, which comprise millions of small business farms, service firms, banks, grain dealers and countless others dependent upon farm prosperity. And these small business folks can look at this record: Since January 1, 1950 there have been more than 3,050 small business failures ,in the United States, setting the highest record of failures in more than a decade, as a matter of fact, since 1939, • ' The second problem facing the Democrats is picking a presiden tial candidate who can unite the party. Only two men have been able to do this trick. Woodrow Wilson united the party to win after it was sharply divided in the era of William Jennings Bryan. Then another split over prohibition and the Ku Klux Klan, which was not healed until Frank lin D. Roosevelt picked up the pieces and put them together inf 1932. Harry S. Truman won in 1948, despite a split party, but with the aid of a farm vote much the same as is shaping up now. And Mr, Truman likely will be a dominant factor in the Demo cratic Convention at Chicago this summer, • ' FMw ovift. Vg 1 RECEPTIONIST IN DOCTOR’S OFFICE. “&lisa Orundoon 'Bell’’ a small, brown and white Cocker Spaniel, ' owned by Dr. W. L Bell, a chiro -1 prafctor in Burnsville, N. C., Khs been serving as receptionist for Dr. Bell’s newly opened office. Her duties are to greet each patient with a furiously wagging tail, and generally make them feel at home In the waiting room At first, she thought it would be a good idea to take the patients hats and gloves, but this proved rather disastrous as she could not resist the tempta tion of chewing them up. This lit tle chore had to be taken from her. As a “tail wagging reception ist," however, she has performed her duties with perfection. Doing odd things in odd places is nothing new for Grundoon. In her three years, she has done quite a few remarkable things. Last year she attended classes regularly at both Asheville-Biltmore College in Asheville, and thft University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, While at Asheville-Biltmore she attended classes in speech, drama tics, economics, and French She is probably the only dog In Burns ville who can bark in French. - While at the University of North Carolina, she attended clas ses in pre-ministerial work. On one occasion, the professor got rather worked up.-on his topic of and to emphasize a point, pounded on the podium with his fists. With this, Grundoon, who was asleep under one of the desks, jumped up with a loud bark. Without bat ting an eye, the professor retorted, “Amen brother, Amen". This all but threw the class into a panic. Last summer, Grundoon did quite a bit of walking and camp* ing along the coast of Virginia and North Carolina Moat of the time was spent hiking hundreds of miles along the outer banka of North Carolina. The purpose be hind these excursions was some research being done by Dr. Bell, but to Grundoon, It meant a host of strange, new, smells and sights. Her favorite sport is chasing sea gulls and "Mother Carey’s Chick ens” along the ocean’s edge or dig ging sand fiddlers in the sand. To her, a dead and decayed fish pre sents an aroma thpt corresponds to No, 8 to us and on every occasion she will roll on one, but as she was constantly In and out of the water, the smell soon wore off. Grundoon has the reputation at Virginia Beach, Va, as being the neatest, most weJJ behaved “beer hound’’ on the beach. She lovea beer, bu* unlike most people, knowg exactly when to stop. The only apparant effect It has on her is a momentary lack of cat-detec tion. One of the cleverest things she can do is sing. She can harmonize with most any voice; with her head thrown back in what sounds like happy dog howling, She likes a great many things, . j ' Sweaters rate high on Morn’s Pretty pickings for Morn rrTOFF l .* .. . . .Mu.
